Description:

This last month I talked to God so much when my husband was deathly ill and I thought that I would lose him. Gladly he pulled through and everyone that knows us and him are now calling it a miracle. Even I believe that it was a miracle. During this time I received a religious journal in a swap and am making it my God's Journal. I tend to talk to God throughout the day instead of actually praying to him. It makes it more personal for me.

I don't know if anyone would be interested, I am only testing the waters here, if anyone would like to start a God's Journal Swap where we will pass it from one partner to another until it is full and then send it home to the person that it belongs to. I would love to receive my journal back so that I can see all the beauty of God in my Journal and I know you would too.

Rules:

  1. You will alter a composition book in the style that you wish. Front and back covers on both sides. Add anything that you want to personalize it to your taste.

  2. On the first page you will decorate it in any style or medium.

  3. On the second page you will write something encouraging. Be it a testimony, prayer, uplifting verse, story, or even a letter of encouragement to a fellow Christian. Maybe you found a great Christian card or postcard that you would like to paste into the book and a short note as to why it touched your heart. Please write on just one side of the page and in print so everyone can read it.

  4. At the bottom of the last page (use as many pages as you need to write on) sign your name and give your address. Someone may want to write you a personal letter or send you something that will comfort or encourage you.

  5. Protect it with your heart so that it may be passed on in the second round of the swap.

When it comes to God I will not bar anyone from participating in this swap no matter the ratings or where they live.

~~~~~~My swap rules~~~~~~

No 1's or 3's in the past 6 months

Well filled out profiles. This means that you must have likes, dislikes and a wish list on your profile . Newbies that haven't been rated yet are welcomed

I do check profiles and if you sound iffy I will ban

Rate the swaps as by the rules by swapbot and not your personal likes or dislikes of the person or the swap. If it meets swap guidelines then rate a 5. If it was extra special you may want to give a heart. If it is late then a 3 whether you were notified or not. It is up to your discretion. 1's are for the flakers.

If you flake on any of my swaps you will not be allowed in anymore that I am hosting.

If you do not meet my swap rules and requirements I will ban you. I will not send a PM as we are all adults and can read these swap requirements.

I angel all my swaps.If you do not recieve please contact me so that I can send you your swap.

If you have any problems or questions please PM me.

~~~~~~I can not control who smokes or has pets. If you have a problem with that then please do not join my swaps.~~~~~~

This sounds like such a marvelous idea! My small group at my church is doing journaling and it is just amazing how God is speaking to us through this form!

I have a small question-so the rest of the journal (after our own writing )is left blank for the next person? Just want to be sure :)

tessalou 02/24/2012 #

Yes, it is left blank so that others may write in it.

Is this only for Christians?

tessalou 02/25/2012 #

This swap is for Christians. I edited the swap to make it less confusing.

i would love to join but i got recent 3's. maybe next time

cathydolphinlvr 02/29/2012 #

so we can use all pages of the book with church related things?

cerenaleigh 03/ 1/2012 #

I am not a Christian- I consider myself to be very spiritual, but I pray every day and have no doubt in my mind that there is a higher being. I enjoy Bible verses and religious imagery. I would love to join this. I had a miracle happen to myself two years ago and my medical miracle even got a doctor and a nurse to rethink their atheism. I would love to be a part of this. Is that alright?

tessalou 03/ 1/2012 #

@cathydolphinlvr you will use the first two or more pages and then when we pass them around your partners will use another 2 o3. That way we can get alot of inspiration. You can put in a postcard, song that touches your heart, a prayer or even a conversation with God. It does not have to be related to church or even the bible. Whatever soothes your soul and calms your life.

@cerenaleigh I have no problem with you or anyone spiritual joining this swap. I am more worried about how you would feel recieving religiou items or writings. That is my only problem. I do not attend church anymore nor do I believe that the bible is totally what Jesus did or say since it was written by man for man. But it brings me comfort and peace to my life. If you think you can handle this then please feel free to join.
